Preheat oven to 400. Coat the bottom of a cast iron skillet with olive oil, Wash and chop up potatoes into bite size pieces, throw into skillet and then top with sliced onion and put in preheated oven for 30 minutes stirring every 15 minutes.

Then top potatoes and onions with diced bacon and cook for 15 more minutes or until potatoes are fork tender. Stir and Serve.

I got this Recipe from My sister-in-law Sarah, She had posted on her Facebook that she was having this Flank steak she had been marinating for 2 days. I was like Oh man I got to have that recipe. So I did and oh man! YUMMY!

Combine the marinade ingredients in a non-reactive bowl large enough to accommodate the steak and mix well to dissolve the sugar. Submerge the steak in the liquid and let it marinate for 2 days, covered, in the refrigerator.

When you are ready to cook, remove the flank steak from the marinade and let it come to room temperature, about 30 minutes. Heat a grill or grill pan on high heat. Rub the steak with 1 tablespoon olive oil. Grill the steak for about 8 to 10 minutes per side for medium rare. Let the steak rest for about 15 minutes before slicing.

While the steak is cooking and resting, heat the remaining olive oil in a skillet over high heat. Remove the onions and pears from the marinade and saute them until they are golden and caramelized, about 8 minutes. Set the onions and pears aside and strain the marinade into the hot skillet. Cook until the marinade is reduced by half. (I added Mushrooms to my mixture as well)

To serve, slice the steak into thin slices against the grain. Top the slices with the caramelized onions and pears and the reduced marinade.

One afternoon, Normy came home from work and hadn’t eaten alllll day and was starving. SO I looked in the fridge to see what I could come up with…and this is what I came up with

Took some Angel hair whole wheat pasta threw it in a preheated skillet to med heat with a tablespoon of olive oil, sautéed the noodles for a 3-5 minutes with Garlic Salt, and Pepper then Squeezed half a lemon and sautéed for another few minutes, to basically heat the noodles, then sprinkled a tablespoon of Parmesan cheese on top and Serve!

Hey there everyone, my name is Jamie! I first got the name crazy Jamie from my mother in law, who would call me crazy Nena, which means Crazy woman in Spanish. Then my friend Stacey, her kids would call me Crazy Jamie from the crazy, goofy things I would do with them! So here I am Crazy Jamie! I am 39 years young and LOVE all things Food! From cooking it, to looking for new recipes, to taking pictures of it, to talking about it, oh and (of course) eating it!! I did the whole culinary school thing. When I was in culinary school, I discovered that I liked cooking more than baking, the one class I didn’t like was bake shop…I thought baking was hard and it had to be exact and to me it was a lot of work….and now I am going on 3 years of baking at a cupcakes shop. Head baker! Funny how things work out. Now I think I like baking more than I like cooking! I have been married to my hubby Normando for 9 years. We got married on 8-8-08. We have our little kitty Olive that we adore! She’s our 4 legged kid! We live in Denver, Colorado! I have lived in Colorado my whole life and don’t ever want to move! I love the mountains and hiking and riding my bike! I love cooking for friends and family and love making birthday cakes, or cupcakes for friends and family. I love looking on Pinterest and trying new ingredients! I am always looking for new recipes! So I became obsessed with taking pictures of the food I would make and I wanted to share what I was making with the world. So I created this blog! I am not the best writer or speller so beware if you are a grammar person! This chic SUCKS at grammar! But I love sharing what I cook with the world! I also love sharing recipes with people as well. So this is me, welcome to my world!
